  • Your right it shouldn't.

    But we're using a template we copied from accounting's template, who copied it from marketing's template, who based it on HR's template, who copied accounting's template, who got it from an intern who modified it to be future proof in 1999.

  • Harms the youth isn't even the best anti-pornography argument. Sexual exploitation and sex trafficking are concerns. But that's more of an issue with unethical porn (always watch ethically sourced porn folks!)

    On the other hand, since the age of internet porn, sexual irresponsibility, teen sex, rape, and divorce have all declined. (Correlation)

  • No doctor going on 6 years. The CLSC nurses have always seen me within a week; then I get an RV with a specialist within 3 weeks.

    Would a doctor be nice? Yes. Does the CLSC system work for me? Also yes.

    I'm guessing this varies wildly based on CLSC though.

  • How do you figure? Red light cameras decrease frequency and severity of crashed at signalized intersections. https://crsreports.congress.gov/product/pdf/R/R46552

    There is some increase in rear ended, but those are much less severe than right angle or pedestrian collisions.

    Cities adjusting the dilemma zone, or increasing speed limit; is a problem with revenue usage of red light cameras; and revenues should be going to victim funds. It also seems to be a uniquely USA problem? That could be a taxation and funding source issue.

  • I take argument with #5 as a concept.

    My region is against speed and red light cameras out of freedom and privacy arguments; so people get slaughtered by cars instead.

    Fine for selfhosting though.

  • Remember to take into account different temperate zones when making blanket statements.

    That's just construction and maintenance cost data. That doesn't change based on temperature zones.

    In a city like Winnipeg where we historically have -20 to -40C temps for 6 months of the year

    Iif you are using historical lows, Winnipeg has 7 months below -20°C.

    bike paths aren't used as much.

    When I was in Yellowknife, it was just easier and faster to cycle in the winter than to plug and preheat your car. But I'm sure there's a reason it can't work in a southern city; I've never been to Winnipeg.

    Even if bike paths are only being used half the year (and you ignore my earlier comment about public transportation) Winnipeg budgeted $155.8 M for road maintenance in 2023 (it goes up every year). So if people drove half as much, you would save $200 per Winnipeg resident per year (and that's before provincial and federal injections). Where are my fiscal conservatives at!!
